- Going concern

“It is the director's view that the likely ongoing impact of these factors does not create a material uncertainty relating to going concern.”
Significant events
- “Sales order intake in the year to 30th June 2025 was similar to the previous year, as distortions to consumer behaviour in previous years due to the imposition and subsequent easing of restrictions relating to the Covid pandemic fell out of all comparisons.”
- “In the year to 30th June 2025, delivered sales to customers were broadly reflective of the stabilised sales order intake but were down 3% on the previous year.”
- “The company continues to invest in and develop its IT and other business systems, including its website, in order to maintain and improve cost control and organisational efficiency that are seen as crucial to the future success and development of the business.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
